Engraving (coloured impression). A barrister, haggard and exhausted, yawns over a 'Brief', reclining in an arm-chair, extending his bare legs to the fire (right) where a coffee-pot stands. Beside him is a 'Bill of Costs'. Evidence of overnight dissipation are a (Turkish) masquerade dress and mask on the floor and a young woman, partly dressed, arranging her hair at a mirror placed on the breakfast-table. Her foot rests on a large volume: 'Crim Con Cases'. The room is lined with heavy folios, a sejeant’s wig hands by the window; there is a notice: 'Term begins – A convenient Sett of Chambe(rs) To Lett'. A bust portrait of a severe old judge is over the chimney-piece on which stand books, bottles of 'Cherry Bounce, and Restorative Drops'. On the groups are empty bottles, top-boots, a gun, a dog. Riding-breeches and a jockey-cap hang from a peg. Grego, 'Rowlandson', 11. 222. Description from the Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires Vol. IX. 11816.
